            Why dont you use routed vti?

              For Tunnel mode MSS 1328 is most effective:

                WOAH! Massive difference (in only one direction)...

                  Nice, but now you have to find a way to the paring jungle how it will work fast on both ways.
                  Looks like US -> EU runs a other way than EU -> US.

                  We talk about that, in our last meeting and the solution is not easy.
                  One Point is to use a Cloud Service Provider he is present on both sides and you can use the interconnect between this cloud instances.

                    @NOCling and unfortunately my success was very short-lived ...
                    It looks like iperf3 traffic is still improved, but I'm moving data at 500kB/s - 1.50MB/s

                      @SpaceBass if you temp switch to Wireguard does the issue follow?
                      If it does it may not be MTU related.

                        How do you move your Data?
                        SMB is a very bad decision for high latency ways, you need rsync or other wan optimized protocols.

                          rsync - have tried both an NFSv4 mount and over ssh (for testing purpose)
